A well written analysis above. I agree to whatever has been said.
In one of my earlier messages I had mentioned that not playing as a team was an important factor in India not doing well in the World cup and that the difference was more than apparent in the match against Bangladesh. I think team selection and the think tank is to be blamed for it and partly Dravid for not being able to motivate the team. The reason why there is such a lack of unity is because India has not has a stable team for a long time because of continuous experimentation. This has also made players (except the 'STARS') feel vulnerable about their future in the team and put them under greater pressure to perform and play their natural game. Also this made all the players unsure of who they would play with in the next game.
I think experimentation IS important because thats how you recognise young and new talent but in my opinion if the coach or the captain thinks someone has talent they should persist with him for a while and get him accepted as a team member.
I suppose Greg Chappell had all good intentions in mind for the Indian team but and his plans would perhaps been perfect for the Australian way of playing cricket but the Indian way and mind-set is different therefore his plans failed to work.
Having said that I think the over all attitude of the Indian players need to change and the survival instinct needs to change to killer instinct.
For the above changes to take place, radical changes need to be made at the top and in the think tank.
